It's not so much to do with time as distance. On the line below, the numbers represent galaxies, and the dashes represent a unit of distance in the space between the galaxies. Together, the numbers and dashes are the Universe.
1---2---3---4---5
Now, if space expands by eight dashes over some period of time, the Universe will look like this:
1-----2-----3-----4-----5
Notice that galaxy 5, which was always far from galaxy 1, is now eight units of space farther from galaxy 1; but galaxy 2, which was rather close to galaxy 1 to begin with, is now only two units of space farther from galaxy 1.
So with time any two galaxies in the Universe will go away from each other at a faster rate, but it's the distance which determines that rate.
